Megaman StarForce: Tendou's Story Chapter 17: Reform the Pair and FW & AA, a Mega Man + Maid Sama! Crossover fanfic

If there are any mistakes, I apologize, and please don't flame. If there are, please do PM me and I'll fix my errors. Thank you and enjoy!

Note: English is my second language!

I don't want to hurt the UsuiXMisaki fans out there, but I want to try and see if Misaki Ayuzawa is capable to be a StarForce member, and have Tendou in Usui's place.

I don't own Megaman nor Maid-Sama except the transformation, new characters, and new Battle Cards.

Okay, I was on fire, and I've been up working on these two chapters nonstop! I'll be taking a break for a few days before working on the next chapter. My brain needs some rest.

Also, the title for this chapter didn't have enough space. I had to shorten it by using their initial.

Chapter 17: Reform the Pair / Frost Walrus & Armored Armadillo

Inside the gym of Miyabigaoka High

Maki grabbed the microphone and began to explain the next phase.

"We will now begin the second phase of the footman audition. There is only one assignment in this second phase. Please arrange the table nicely for afternoon tea. Consider the occasion and mood, and arrange it accordingly. It's important to understand how to set a table, but use your taste to cover places you don't know. How one little thing is placed could alter the appearance. Being considerate and having good taste is important."

Ace, Jack, Draco, and Subaru were watching from the audience seats with Satsuki, Erika, Honoka, and Tia.

Most of the competitors muttered and didn't understand a single word from the host.

Yukimura began to take note as much as possible on his notepad. Kanou just stood there and listened. Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa were confused with question marks on their heads.

The comb-haired Tendou was still beet red in the face after what happened a moment ago. "I can't believe she made me touch it." He hated to admit it, but it felt a bit firm and soft.

Misaki buttoned up her white shirt and fixed the bowtie. "I will protect Maid Latte."

"You have 10 minutes. Please begin!" Maki finished.

A horde of men dashed towards different tables: they were a set of tablecloths, teacups, and a pot, plates, sweets, trays, forks and spoons, a pack of sandwiches and more. They grabbed as many as they could for their respective tables.

"Yosh! Let's go, Tendou!" Misaki said.

"You got it!" the comb-haired Tendou followed as they ran towards the tables.

"This place looks perfect for me. Boy, let me handle this."

Stopping in his track, the comb-haired Tendou recognized that princely voice with a horror look on his face; he knew who it belongs to.

"Oh no... Sieg, don't you-"

But he was too late.

His body was already possessed by him as his head slumped down.

Misaki turned to see her partner stopped moving all of a sudden. "Tendou?"

His hands slowly raised to his comb-haired and gracefully lifted his head up. Flipping his hair backward, it magically changed into cornrows and had several white hair streaks with one longer white and brown lock on the left side of his face, and a white feather boa appeared around his neck. With his hands in the air, white feathers flowed around him as he slowly opened his eyes.

Misaki was surprised to see Tendou's sudden hairstyle, and his eyes were white as snow, including that white feather boa came out of nowhere.

"Huh? Where did those feathers come from?" she questioned thoughtfully, looking at the falling feathers around him.

"Hmm?" Tora raised his eyes at the sight.

Blinking in confusion, the four Maid Latte girls rubbed their eyes and didn't believe they just saw. Tendou somehow changed his hairstyle and had a white feather boa around his neck as if it was magic.

"Ugh... Why him at this time?" The red suit Draco facepalmed in disbelief.

"Oh no." Tia gasped lightly.

"NOOOOOOOOO! ! NOT HIM! ! ANYONE BUT HIM! !" Ace and Jack screamed, grasping their heads in horror.

It was one of Tendou's allies that they couldn't stand the most.

The Maid Latte girls turned to them in confusion.

"Is something wrong?" Satsuki asked, seeing the two adults men freaking out.

"I-I-I-It's nothing!" Jack retorted in defense.

"Pretend you didn't hear us!" Ace followed.

"You girls saw that, did you?" Honoka asked her friends.

"How did Tendou do that?" Subaru added.

"Where did he get that feather boa?" Erika followed.

"Kourin (Advent)... " The white-streaks-haired Tendou spoke.

"Tendou, are you feeling okay?" Misaki asked in concern.

"Girl, allow me to be of assistance." he requested, bowing down in a prince-like manner.

"Huh?" Misaki deadpanned at his sudden princely mannerism in confusion.

"Now~ let us make this a pleasant afternoon tea." The white-streaks-haired Tendou placed his hands behind his back and walked forward. Misaki had no idea what was going on, but followed beside him. "Before we start, let me ask you this. How do you want the table to be?" he asked, changing his sight to her.

Blinking twice, Misaki was still in a state of confusion at his new strange behavior. "Huh? Well... " She scanned the tables and tried to picture a scene in her mind. "How about an elegant tea at a British looking café for classy madam or rich girls?" she suggested.

The white-streaks-haired Tendou responded with a nod in approval. "Very well. Follow my instructions. First, we need a tablecloth."

"O-Okay!" Misaki complied as she was instructed.

The table was filled with two plates, napkins, forks and spoons, tea cups and pots, a cup of water with white roses, and a large tray with many small cakes.

"30 seconds remaining."

"That fast! ?" Misaki gaped. "We don't have much time left!" she panicked.

"Allow me." The white-streaks-haired Tendou placed a large silver rounded tray cover on a tray.

"Tendou, what are you doing?" the black-haired girl asked in confusion, didn't know why he covered her tray.

"Watch and observe." The white-streaks-haired Tendou removed his right hand and gracefully rotated it in a circle before holding the tip again. He removed the cover as Misaki gasped at the sight in bewilderment with her widened eyes.

Her tray had an ice sculpture of a swan, surrounded by her small cakes.

"H-How did you... how is it possible! ?" she examined the ice sculpture at every direction, wondering if it was fake or not. With a simple touch, she realized it was the real thing.

"It is done. Be grateful." he bowed to her in a prince-like manner.

"Time's up!"

Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa argued to see which of their display was better.

Now their table was surrounded by a group of butlers, who were judging the display.

"This is amazing!"

"This is beyond British style afternoon tea time!"

"The knives are well polished, too!"

"The swan ice sculpture is a perfect touch!"

"It gives out a nice mood!"

"So majestic! This table is fantastic!"

Misaki was speechless about the result as she turned to the white-streaks-haired Tendou. "Tendou, how did you come up with this?" she asked her partner.

Before the white-streaks-haired Tendou could reply, Maki's voice was heard on the speaker.

"We will now take a short break. Please enjoy your afternoon tea at your own table."

Misaki sat on a chair and lifted the teacup in her hands. She took a sip and paused at the unfamiliar taste.

"What kind of a tea is this?" she asked.

"Burakku tii (Black tea)." The white-streaks-haired Tendou answered, taking a small sip of his teacup, "Is there a problem?" he asked, setting it down.

"N-No, not really. This is my first time drinking one." Misaki replied nervously, taking another sip. She observed her partner and discovered another one of his strange behaviors.

First, he had a ponytail with a golden yellow streak hair in a sumo pose.

Second, he had a blue streak in a flirting behavior with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Third, his hair was spikier with a red streak with an intimidating look.

And now, it was cornrows with several white hair streaks with a white feather boa in a prince-like behavior.

The white-streaks-haired Tendou sliced one of the small cakes with a knife and poked it with a fork. He ate it in a calm manner.

Misaki had no idea how to explain his multiple behaviors. She was about to ask him until Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa suddenly appeared next to their table.

"Whoa! New kid, what's with that look! ?" the black-haired asked in surprise.

"How'd you change your hair so fast! ?" the blonde added.

The white-streaks-haired Tendou frowned at their nuisance intrusion and faced away. "You two curs. Away from my sight at once!" he ordered, pointing at them with his left index finger with his eyes closed.

Misaki dropped her mouth at his sudden demand in that princely attitude. "Please tell me he is acting!" she pleaded to herself.

The white-streaks-haired Tendou turned to them with his eyes opened halfway, seeing the two with confused looks on their faces. "What is it? Did you not hear? I asked you two to-"

"New kid, why are you talking like that! ?" Ryuunosuke questioned.

"Why are you so cold to us, and not to Misa-! ? " Shirokawa added.

Misaki quickly stomped them with her fierce strength before they blurted out her name. Her mood was dark and her fake glasses shined yellow.

"I'll go toss these two in the bushes for you." she said and dragged them to the exit.

As she walked away with the two morons, Tora watched her with a gleeful smile before turning to Tendou, dropping his smile.

"An impressive performance, considering his ridiculous behavior." he narrowed his eyes at the white-streaks-haired teenager. He remembered his hair was spiked up with a red streak and an intimidating face. "Tendou Stelar, just what the hell are you?"

The white-streaks-haired Tendou drank his cup of black tea until a voice interrupted his meal.

"Is that you, new kid?"

Feeling annoyed, he turned to see Yukimura and Kanou, who were standing next to him.

"Wow! That's a nice hairstyle! What a surprise to see you at a place like this!" the dark green-haired exclaimed brightly.

"Who are you, green one?" the white-streak-haired Tendou asked.

"Huh? You are new kid, right?"

"State your business." he firmly raised a bit of his voice.

"Uhhh... " Yukimura inspected him again and noticed his eyes were white instead of green, except with the same feminine face. "Kanou, I don't think it's new kid at all."

"I guess not." Kanou replied blankly, staring at the white-streak-haired teenager; he swore it was him.

"I thought it was him, but he must be a look-alike." Yukimura noted.

"It has to be. Let's head back. We should finish the cake at the table." the spiky dark blue-black-haired dragged Yukimura away to their table.

"You're right. Let's not waste them."

At the hallway

"Good grief, these guys." Misaki dusted her hands after dumping Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa them into the bushes.

She stopped her tracks and saw something that caught her attention. There were two bathrooms with two signs: one was a male, and the other was a female. She wanted to use a bathroom, but unable to decide due to her disguise. Then, she heard footsteps up ahead. It was none other than Tora with a confident smile on his face. He stopped and eyed at her. Misaki scowled at him and quickly made her decision. She walked to the men's bathroom and accidentally banged her head against the wall.

"Ack!"

Tora couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity.

Back at the table

The white-streaks-haired Tendou continued to eat his cake peacefully until his body froze by force.

"Hey, Sieg, you can stop eating." Tendou said in his thought.

"Hush, boy. This black tea is good for you." he replied softly, taking the teacup in his hands with a sniff.

"JUST GET OUT ALREADY! !" Tendou shouted.

Sighing deeply, he placed the cup on the table and grabbed a napkin. He cleaned his mouth slowly and placed both hands on his laps. On cue, a white spirit exited out of Tendou's body as his hair returned to his comb-haired and the white feather boa vanished.

"How did Ryoutaro befriend that guy?" Tendou questioned to no one with a sigh, "Glad to see Kanou's out of the hospital." Suddenly, a loud crash was heard. He turned to the source and saw a large man fell down to the floor, who broke the chair into pieces due to his weight and size.

"Damn it! Can anyone lend me some new chairs! ?"

"You should've taken two chairs from the beginning." his averaged height partner commented.

The comb-haired Tendou found them a little suspicious, but shrugged it off. Misaki came back to the table and noticed Tendou was back to his comb-haired as she sat on the chair.

"You took a while." he said.

"Yeah. I went to the bathroom. And because he was there, I went right into the men's room. It was embarrassing, but I had to."

"I don't blame you. It's obvious that he figured us out."

Misaki looked at him for a moment as the image of her planting his hand on her chest appeared in her mind. It was a bold move to protect her gender. Shifting her eyes sideways, she had no idea why she did that. She grabbed the teacup and slowly drank the black tea until she calmed down.

"Look, Tendou, about earlier... I had to do it. It's the only way to proof everyone that I'm not a girl so I can protect Maid Latte."

"You mean "we"." the comb-haired Tendou corrected her, "I'm doing this to help you, and I still have to pay for the damage for the window in Megaman's place." he noted.

"That's right. I totally forgot about that. Let's do our best and not overdo it until the end!"

The afternoon tea was over.

Everyone gathered around at the stage and waited for Maki's next announcement. Unfortunately, the stage didn't have room for the large man. He didn't mind waiting on the floor with his averaged height partner.

"We'll now begin phase three of the footman audition."

At the audience seats

"Hey, is it just me, or is Tendou's hair somehow back to normal?" Erika asked.

"You're right. I just noticed. How did Tendou change his hair so fast?" Satsuki followed.

"I'm also curious about that, too. What's his secret?" Subaru added thoughtfully.

Honoka continued to drink her cup of soda in a calm manner.

Ace and Jack heard them and tried to think of a way to protect Tendou's identity.

Draco just stood there and watched Tendou in a calm manner.

"You girls forgot about the hair gel?" Tia spoke.

"Hair gel?" The four Maid Latte girls turned to the long dark blue-haired woman in confusion.

Tia showed a hair gel container that had WAZA symbol on it. "It's a very special hair gel that can change your hair any style you like." she explained plainly.

"That's so cool!" they exclaimed.

Ace and Jack didn't believe they actually fell for that ordinary hair gel.

"Nice save, Tia/Nee-san."

Misaki smiled at them from the stage and turned away. She had to stay focus on the third phase without getting distracted.

"I know I'm being reckless, but I can't back down now." she closed her eyes and remembered the scene of Tora lifting her chin up with his ogling eyes. "Not since I brought up the takeover."

"Misaki, we're number 49." Tendou spoke, breaking her thought.

"Huh? 49?" the black-haired questioned as the latter handed the small square-sized paper to her, "What is it for?"

"Have you all received a paper with a number written on it?" Maki asked through the loudspeaker. "The number I had each group draw is the order of audition. The final phase is a customer relations simulation. We will have you wait on the judges. What we are looking for is elegance and loyalty, while handling tension. How well can you improvise in a situation where you can't make mistakes. This is the most important task. Good luck, everyone."

Once Maki finished explaining the last phase, everyone walked down the stage and waited to be called by their number.

Misaki stared at the number forty-nine in her hand and figured it out based on Maki's detail. "Our pair switching reduced the number pairs by one, so we're dead last."

"That's right. We have plenty of time." the comb-haired Tendou replied.

"New kid, it WAS you back there!" Yukimura suddenly appeared behind them along with Kanou. "What was with that hairstyle you had back there?"

The two nearly shrieked and jumped by the dark green-haired's sudden approach.

The comb-haired Tendou tried to imitate the princely voice, but couldn't.

Misaki quickly walked away and blocked her face with her right hand on the fake glasses. "Go away! He'll know it's me if he comes this close!" she pleaded to herself. Without looking, her right foot slipped and fell off the stage, snapping the ropes. "Ten... dou... " she tried to reach her right hand to him, but failed.

Ace, Jack, Tia, Draco, and the Maid Latte girls gasped in horror at the sight.

Tendou rushed in to save her with a fearful look and caught her in his arms. Plunging down, he shielded her with all his might with a loud thud.

"Are they all right?"

"Is he conscious?"

"Wake up, both of you!"

Misaki was the first to rouse and noticed she was on his torso. Her fake glasses fell off with a small crack.

"Holy crap, he's bleeding!"

Misaki widened her eyes with a gasp. She slowly lifted herself up and saw a puddle of blood, flowing out from his head. She couldn't believe it. He risked his life for her - again.

"T-Tendou... " she grabbed his shoulders and shook him gently, "Tendou, Tendou! Hey, Tendou! Tendou!" Tears began to form in her eyes, she tried calling him numerous times, but there was no response.

"Ace, he needs help fast!" Jack quickly grabbed his Hunter-VG from his pocket, but Tia stopped her younger brother.

"Jack, look!" the long dark blue-haired woman pointed her finger at the scene.

"Misaki... "

The black-haired girl gasped to see him conscious.

Tendou slowly opened his eyes and formed a weak smile as he sat up. "Are you okay?" he asked in a gentle tone.

"I'm okay."

"I'm glad." Tendou slowly stood up to his feet.

One of the butler judges quickly approached the boy, "Young man, you shouldn't move so fast. You need to get first aid. You took a big fall from that height."

"No need." The comb-haired Tendou declined, then stumbled a bit from the impact.

"What do you mean "no need"?" Misaki questioned, shaken, standing up in shock. "Even for you, you risked your life to protect me!" she gasped again and saw blood coming down to the left side of his face. She reached her right hand and removed his combed brown hair away from his face. There was a large bruise on his left forehead and blood dripping down with his left eye shut. "You're... you're hurt." Witnessing, her eyes were wider than before.

The comb-haired Tendou continued to give her a weak smile and gently removed her hand away.

"I'm fine, really." he said, then stumbled again.

Misaki quickly caught him from falling. "Look at you! You can barely stand!"

"Give them a wave."

"Huh?"

"Everyone looks worried. I can't let them call my family to see me like this. Remember, saving Maid Latte is our only priority."

Maki approached the scene with a smile. "Are you really okay? If not, I'll call the doctor." he asked, didn't sound worried at all.

"No need." The comb-haired Tendou declined, "I've been enduring this kind of pain for seven years."

"Huh? Seven years? What's he talking about?" Misaki questioned, assuming as if he was joking at a time like this.

"Can I ask you something? Why did you risk your life to protect your partner?" Maki asked the injured teenager.

"Hehe. That's a lousy question to ask. Why did I save him? I saved him because we are a team."

(Yeah, Misaki's still pretending to be a guy in episode 19.)

"A team?" Maki dropped his smile.

"That's right. We've been doing our best to get this far. We support each other from collapsing because there's one thing you don't have. Hehe. I'm pretty sure you haven't realized it."

"What would that be?" Maki asked.

"It's teamwork!" Tendou answered with a smirk. "When you support your friends, they support you back! When you're in trouble, they will back you up. Even if it's a café, a restaurant, or whatever they are, we all put our hearts into our work to please our customers!"

Maki paused at the latter's words and realized something he didn't look up. He was actually missing teamwork.

He didn't believe he actually missed that!

Ace smiled, seeing a splitting image of a teenage Geo behind Tendou. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"He's so like his father." he stated.

"Yep. Like father, like son." Jack nodded in agreement.

"Make it "like parents, like son"." Tia corrected the two. "Let's not forget Sonia, boys."

"Huh? You three know Tendou's parents?" Satsuki asked the trio.

"Of course. We're friends for a long time." Tia answered the dark purple-haired woman.

Satsuki turned her sight back to Tendou with a happy smile. She was touched by his strong words.

However, she wasn't the only one. Erika, Honoka, and Subaru were touched as well. The four of them had small tears in their eyes.

They were glad to have him work in their café. If he hadn't joined, Maid Latte would have been taken down by Maki.

Suddenly, a boisterous laugh was heard as everyone turned to the owner of the laugh.

It was that large man.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! ! THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD! ! AHAHAHAHA! !"

"Hey, keep your voice down!" his averaged height partner scolded him.

The large man dropped to his knees and laughed hysterically, breathing frosty air from his mouth. Then, a loud shredding sound was heard from the blazer, revealing a hint of his silvery-white armor.

He immediately stopped laughing, deadpanned. "Oh crap."

His averaged height partner facepalmed in disbelief, "You idiot! You shouldn't laugh that much!"

"Ugh! Guess we have no choice." the large man grabbed his suit and ripped it into shreds, revealing his large humanoid body with a walrus's head. "I AM FROST WALRUS! ! A REPLIFORCE! ! FINALLY, I'M OUT OF THIS PATHETIC HUMAN DISGUISE! !" he shouted angrily.

(Frost Walrus was from Megaman X4.)

Jumping in the air, his partner encased into a ball and rolled rapidly, shredding the suit into pieces. He landed on the ground and revealed his mechanical armadillo body with shields in his hands.

"I AM ARMORED ARMADILLO, ALSO A REPLIFORCE! !"

(Armored Armadillo was from Megaman X / Maverick Hunter X from PSP.)

Everyone began to panic and fled at the exit from the robotic monsters.

"Oh no, you don't! Ikuikure Bureedo (Icicle Blade)!" Frost Walrus shot his blades of ice from his shoulders in the air as they landed on the floor, turning into ice.

Many people slipped and fell on the ice, including Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa. They tried standing up, but fell back down on the slippery ice.

Yukimura screamed and jumped into Kanou's arms in fright. "Aaaaahhh! Kanou, help me!"

"What do you want me to do?" the spiky dark blue-black-haired asked calmly with a blank stare.

"Just run where they can't see us!" the dark green-haired retorted.

Armored Armadillo approached one of the fallen humans and sniffed at the latter. "Not him." he threw him away and grabbed another one, sniffing him twice. "Not this one." he tossed him away and repeated the same process. "Where the hell is that girl in disguise! ?"

"What the hell! ?" Tora stood up and knocked the chair over. He shot his eyes at the mechanical monsters in disbelief.

Misaki managed to sneak away to the exit and carried an injured Tendou with his left arm around her neck. She made her way to the others on the audience seats.

"Tendou, are you okay?" Tia asked the boy.

"I'm okay. Just a flesh wound." the comb-haired Tendou replied, keeping himself from stumbling.

"Don't give us that, Tendou! We saw you bleeding to death back there!" Jack shouted.

"Jack, this isn't the time! Misaki, we'll treat Tendou!" Ace grabbed the teenager and placed him on his right shoulder.

"But what about these two monsters! ?" the black-haired girl asked, pointing at the large humanoid walrus and the mechanical armadillo.

"Don't worry about that! Megaman will come soon!" the dark blue-haired man assured her as the WAZA trio and Draco left with Tendou.

In the hallway

"Put me down, Ace! I can still fight!" Tendou demanded.

Ace stopped and placed the teenager on the floor. "That's what we're trying to do!"

"Tendou, hold up your sleeve quick." Tia requested, setting the knapsack bag on the floor.

"What for?"

"We're giving you a painkiller before you transform into Megaman." Jack answered, taking out a container that had a hypodermic needle.

"Okay." Tendou removed the dark blue blazer and rolled up the right sleeve.

Draco held the boy's hair as Tia wiped the blood off on the left side of his face and forehead. Ace took out an alcohol swab from the pack and wiped it on Tendou's right upper arm.

Jack hastily got the liquid inside the hypodermic needle. "Hold still, Tendou." he aimed the needle on that wet spot and injected the painkiller on him. Removing it, he placed a bandage on him.

Tendou didn't mind the small pain and rolled down the sleeve. He took out his dark blue Hunter-VG from his pocket and placed it at the center of his waist as it shot out silver belt strap around him.

"Henshin!" he called out as his body was consumed by a ball of light, transforming into his Megaman form.

His armors were dark blue. He had wings of Cygnus Noise form. His helmet had no spiky hair. His lens was red, and a silver mask below it. His streamlines were green.

"Tendou, the painkiller will only work for 20 minutes." Tia warned him.

"20 minutes is good enough." Megaman (Tendou) replied and turned to his Imagin dragon friend, "Draco, I need you to watch the girls from any harm."

"Hai, Master Tendou." he nodded.

Megaman (Tendou) flitted his way to the gymnasium and readied to take those two mechanical enemies down.

Tia smiled at him with her arms crossed. "That boy is really in love with that girl." she said.

"Indeed, he is, Miss Tia." Draco nodded in agreement, "Master Tendou has a shy side."

Maki slipped on the icy floor and couldn't escape from the mechanical armadillo monster.

Armored Armadillo grabbed him and sniffed twice. He growled in annoyance and threw him to the floor.

"Damn it, it's not him! I can't find the girl!"

"She couldn't have disappeared! She's the key to bring out Megaman!" Frost Walrus stated.

A loud energy shot was heard. Frost Walrus and Armored Armadillo shot their heads up and quickly blocked the attack with a small boom.

Megaman (Tendou) landed in the center of the gymnasium with HeavyCannon on his right arm and formed his fighting stance.

Everyone gasped in awe to see the dark blue armored hero right before their eyes.

"Hey, look, it's Megaman!"

"The legendary Megaman! ?"

"No way! He's here to save us!"

"HOORAY! ! MEGAMAN'S HERE! !" Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa exclaimed happily.

Kanou stopped in his tracks and lightly gasped, seeing his savior. "Megaman's here?"

Yukimura brightened his eyes to see his awesome hero.

"Megaman!" Misaki grew a small smile and felt her heart pounded in joy at his arrival.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH! ! MEGAMAN! !" The Maid Latte girls cheered happily with heart-shaped in their eyes.

Tora slightly widened his eyes at the legendary Megaman. He didn't expect to witness his sudden arrival at his school. Raising his right hand to his chin, he decided to see if the legend was true.

"Frost Walrus, forget the girl. Megaman's already here." Armored Armadillo said, forming his fighting stance.

"Hmm? Hang on... he looks completely different." Frost Walrus noticed, inspecting the enemy's appearance. "Is he really Megaman?" he questioned in confusion.

"He definitely looks like him. I don't recall him with wings." Armored Armadillo noted.

Megaman (Tendou) shook his head in disbelief with a disappointing sigh. "Again with this." he held his right arm with his left hand and took aim before firing his armed-cannon twice at them.

The mechanical armadillo defended himself with his armed-shields, and the humanoid walrus used his large arms to block the attack.

Megaman (Tendou) reverted his HeavyCannon back into his right arm and extracted red blades on both forearms before dashing at them. Frost Walrus and Armored Armadillo lowered their arms, and began to fight back.

Armored Armadillo opened the cover from his forehead and revealed a cannon as he charged it with a ball of ball light. "Heddo Kyanon (Head Cannon)!" he fired several blue energy blasts at the dark blue armored Megaman. His attacks misfired and landed on the icy floor with small explosions.

"RAAAAHHHH! !" Frost Walrus clenched his right fist and launched it at his enemy.

Megaman (Tendou) avoided by jumping as the fist slammed on the ground. Landing on the ground, he twirled and slashed the two enemies with his red armed-blades. Armored Armadillo blocked the blade with his shields, and Frost Walrus blocked with his left fist as they retaliated. Megaman (Tendou) jumped in the air to dodge their counterattack. The three fought with loud slams and clanging sounds from the shield.

The Maid Latte girls didn't believe what they were seeing. Megaman was fighting two monsters at the same time - even though it wasn't a fair fight. Misaki was astonished the most and didn't expect Megaman could handle two of them.

Ace, Jack, Tia, and Draco were watching the fight from the hallway.

"I think our crime-fighting hero might need a little help." Ace thought and took out his Hunter-VG from his pocket.

"Ace, are you sure you can fight after 23 years?" Jack asked his brother-in-law.

"I haven't lost my touch... yet." Ace answered and turned to his device, "Hey Acid, how long can we fight?" he asked his partner, who was inside his Hunter-VG.

"My armor isn't fully repaired, Ace. I'm afraid we can only fight for a short time." Acid answered.

"I can handle that." the dark blue-haired man nodded and formed his transformation pose, "Toransukoodo (Transcode)! Acid Ace!" he called out as his body was consumed by a ball of gray light.

"RAAAHH! ! HAAAHH! !" Frost Walrus continued to punch his enemy, but missed and hit the ground hard.

Armored Armadillo encased himself into a ball, "Rooringu Takkuru (Rolling Tackle)!" he rolled towards his enemy at a quick speed.

Megaman (Tendou) retracted both red blades back to his forearms and brought up his right arm, forming a hexagon-shaped energy shield. The rolling mechanical armadillo collided on the shield and bounced off, knocking Megaman (Tendou) to the ground.

"Aaaaaahhhh!" Cancelling his energy shield, he landed on the ground with a thud. "Urrghh... Damn... And I thought one was bad enough." he commented.

Armored Armadillo uncased himself and landed next to his comrade.

"Hahaha! Prepare to become Mega-ice-cube!" Frost Walrus pounded his fists.

They walked forward as the dark blue armored Megaman stood up. Suddenly, a bright gray light appeared above them as the two shot their heads up and stopped their tracks.

Megaman (Tendou) looked up and recognized that light. "Wait a minute... Is that... ?"

Everyone turned their attention to the ball of gray light and wondered what it was.

"What's that light?" Erika asked.

"I don't know. Another monster?" Subaru followed.

"Wait, look!" Honoka pointed with her right index finger.

The ball of gray light slowly made its way down and landed next to Megaman (Tendou). The light vanished and revealed a figure on his knees. He had white-and-gray armor with several red siren lights, two wing-like on his shoulder pads, and a sword-like gun in his right hand.

"No way... It couldn't be... " Misaki widened her eyes in surprise, recognizing that mysterious figure.

He looked exactly like one of those legendary StarForce statues back at WAZA HQ.

The white-and-gray armored stood up and began his introduction. "NEVER FEAR, BOOIZU ANDO GAARUZU (BOYS AND GIRLS)! THE LEGENDARY ACID ACE... IS HERE TO ASSIST MEGAMAN! !" he announced coolly in his fighting pose.

On cue, everyone cried out with a loud cheer.

"NO WAY! !"

"THE LEGENDARY ACID ACE! ?"

"FROM THE WAR TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO! ?"

"THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! !"

Frozen in shock, Honoka widened her eyes and dropped her cup of soda to the ground. She immediately stood up and slammed her hands on the ledge.

"Say what! ? He's Megaman comrade! ?"

A smirk grew on Satsuki face. "Acid Ace isn't Megaman's only comrade, my dear Honoka! Megaman has many friends by his side! I was at that scary war 23 years ago!" the dark purple-haired woman's explained proudly with bright stars on her face.

"REALLY, SAN-CHO! ?" Erika, Honoka, and Subaru shot their heads at the manager in disbelief.

"Thank you, everyone! Thank you!" Acid Ace happily blew kisses at the audience until Megaman (Tendou) slapped on the back of his head.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE! ?" he questioned loudly, sounded angry.

Misaki and the Maid Latte girls were confused, wondering why Megaman suddenly slapped his comrade.

"Ow! Hey, you were having trouble fighting these two guys, so I thought I might give you a hand." Acid Ace answered truthfully, rubbing the back of his head.

"I CAN HANDLE THEM MYSELF! ! DON'T STEAL MY THUNDER! !" Megaman (Tendou) barked, "HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ACID'S CONDITION! ?"

"Uhhh... Is this supposed to be a reunion or a fight?" Frost Walrus asked, feeling awkward.

"Don't know. Let's just go for it while they're arguing." Armored Armadillo replied and encased himself into a ball, "Rooringu Takkuru (Rolling Tackle)!" he rolled towards his enemies at a quick speed.

Megaman (Tendou) and Acid Ace turned to the incoming rolling enemy and gave him a fierce punch.

"DON'T INTERRUPT US! !" they shouted.

"AAAAAAAHHHH! !" Armored Armadillo cried and crashed into the wall.

"Megaman, I'm running out of time! Let's get this over with!" Acid Ace formed his fighting stance.

"How about we combine instead?" Megaman (Tendou) suggested and called out, "Batoru Kaado (Battle Card)! Fainaru Foomu SutaaFoosu (Final Form StarForce)! Ashiddo Eesu (Acid Ace)!"

"Final Form StarForce! A-A-Acid Ace!" his dark blue Hunter-VG alarmed.

Acid Ace shot his head at him in shock; he didn't expect him to call his Final Form this quick.

"Wait a minute, Megaman! I wasn't ready fo-Aaaahh!" he cried from the slight pain as his body began to transform mechanically (in a transformers style) into a glider that resembled Acid's appearance known as Acid Glider.

FAINARU FOOMU (FINAL FORM)!

ASHIDDO EESU (ACID ACE)!

Everyone cheered at the sight, and didn't expect to see the legendary Acid Ace transformed into a glider.

"Whoa! Megaman's comrade can do that?" Misaki questioned in amazement.

"That's right! The StarForce can transform into their powerful form!" Satsuki answered brightly, "I remembered some of them, but not all."

"Megaman, give me a warning next time!" Acid Glider shouted, "That really hurts!"

"You said you wanted to get this over with." the dark blue armored Megaman corrected him.

"WITHOUT MY APPROVAL! !" Acid Glider countered.

"Enough chit-chat. Let's make it quick!"

"Ugh... Fine."

Megaman (Tendou) leaped in the air, and Acid Glider followed the teenager by flying upward. On cue, the dark blue armored Megaman's star symbol shined a bright silver light.

"What's this light, San-cho?" Subaru asked, blocking the light with her right arm.

"I-I don't know! I've never seen this before!"

Both of their bodies flashed a silver light and began their transformation.

ASHIDDO GURAIDAA (ACID GLIDER)!

MEGAMAN!

Acid Glider detached his wings out of his body and made holes for Megaman (Tendou)'s Cygnus Noise wings. They attached them and created Gundam-like wings, along with pink Noise. Acid Glider detached his head, and his body split into two as they started to combine with Megaman (Tendou)'s body. His body attached themselves to Megaman (Tendou)'s torso as the white armor turned silver. His head broke sideways and combined with Megaman (Tendou)'s helmet, transforming it into Gundam-like style. His silver mask remained the same.

The eyes of Acid Glider shined yellow, finishing the transformation.

SUTAAFOOSU (STARFORCE)! RINKU APPU (LINK UP)!

As the transformation was completed, Acid Megaman (Tendou) descended until his feet touched the ground.

Soon, the cheer was louder than before as their eyes turned into stars in amazement.

"NO WAY! !"

"MEGAMAN COMBINED WITH THE LEGENDARY ACID ACE! ?"

"THAT'S AWESOME! !"

"MEGAMAN IS SO OUR HERO! !" Ryuunsuke and Shirokawa exclaimed happier than before.

Yukimura's eyes shined brighter than before and flew in the air with his feet. Kanou noticed his friend's excitement was reaching over the chart.

"Yukimura, calm down! Too much excitement could kill you!" he grabbed his friend and tried to calm him down.

Rubbing his chin, Tora didn't expect to see the legendary Megaman combined with his comrade. He analyzed him, wanting to learn more.

"I don't know what the hell is that supposed to be, but it doesn't scare me!" Frost Walrus grabbed his icy tusks and ripped them off before inhaling deeply, "Burizaado Eaa (Blizzard Air)!" he breathed out a strong snowstorm from his broken tusks at the dark blue-and-silver-armored Megaman.

Acid Megaman (Tendou) raised his right arm and swung it with a strong wind, blowing the blizzard back to its owner.

Frost Walrus blocked the blizzard with his arms as the area around him turned into ice. He lowered his arms and widened his eyes in shock. "What are you! ? You're definitely not a normal Megaman!" the large humanoid walrus questioned before forming his fighting stance, "Armored Armadillo, let's take him down!" he called his partner. A few seconds later, there was no response from the mechanical armadillo. "...Armored Armadillo?" he turned around and gaped at the unbelievable sight.

The encased Armored Armadillo was covered in ice, who was struggling to break free. "FROST WALRUS, YOU IMBECILE! ! YOU AND YOUR STUPID BLIZZARD! ! THANKS TO YOUR STUPID ICE, I CAN'T MOVE! !" he barked.

The large humanoid walrus quickly ran to his frozen friend and grabbed him. "This is... unexpected." he scratched his head with his left hand.

"GEE, YOU THINK! !"

Frost Walrus looked at the curled mechanical armadillo in his right hand and changed his sight at his enemy, and then at his friend. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

"Armored Armadillo... TAKE HIM DOWN! !" he tossed his frozen encased friend at Acid Megaman (Tendou).

"I'M NOT A BASEBALL, YOU IDIOT! !"

Acid Megaman (Tendou) drew his arms back to the pink Noise at the wings and pulled out two lengthy blades with white guards and hilts. "Ashiddo Seibaa (Acid Saber)!" he raised them in the air and charged up pink Noise energy on his wings with whirring sounds. Unleashing it, he swung both blades downwardly and planted his left knee on the ground, slicing the frozen mechanical armadillo into three.

Electricity surged on the sliced bodies. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! !" With an agony cry, Armored Armadillio exploded in defeat.

*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*

"Oh crap! I'm in deep trouble!" Frost Walrus said, trembled.

Acid Megaman (Tendou) stood up and readied to finish the second enemy off. With one step forward, he suddenly stopped and dropped to his left knee as the pink Noise died out.

"Aaaaaaahhh!" he cried, and the combined armor of Acid Glider immediately detached from his body.

On cue, Acid Glider reattached his armor together, and reverted back to Acid Ace on the ground. His body surged with electricity.

Everyone became confused and murmured about the two fighters.

Misaki and the Maid Latte girls were wondering what was the cause of their transformation.

"Ace, this is as far as we can fight." Acid notified, groaning in pain.

"That quick! ? Argh! Megaman, sorry about this... think you can handle him?" Acid Ace asked the dark blue armored fighter.

"It's fine. Just hurry up before your identity exposed!" he pleaded in a whisper.

"All right." Acid Ace quickly turned himself into a ball of gray light and vanished.

In the hallway

Ace walked out of the bathroom and dropped to his knees. Jack and Draco approached him and helped him up.

"Ace, what happened?" Tia asked her husband.

"Guess we ran out of time to fight." Ace answered with a small groan, "Argh! If only we have more time."

"Don't worry about Master Tendou, Ace. He can take care of it." Draco assured the dark blue-haired man.

The four walked back to the audience seat and watched the fight, hidden from the girls.

"Well, he better make it quick." Jack said, "Tendou only has about less than nine minutes left."

Megaman (Tendou) stood up and prepared to finish the large humanoid walrus. Forming a fighting stance, he suddenly stumbled a bit, and his eyes felt heavy and blurry.

"Wh-What's going on? Why am I so sleepy all of a sudden?" he questioned to himself, grasping his head with his right hand.

Frost Walrus had no idea what was up with Megaman; he smirked and found his chance. He charged forward and gave his faltering enemy a fierce left hook.

"Aaaaaahhhh!" Megaman (Tendou) was sent flying and crashed into the stage as it crumbled down on him.

"Megaman!" Misaki shouted.

"Wh-What's happening to Megaman! ?" Yukimura asked through trembling.

"I don't know. It must be their transformation problem." Kanou assumed.

Megaman (Tendou) came out of the rubble and grasped his head, wondering what made him so drowsy. "Uugghh... What's wrong with me... ? AARRGHHH! !" he was slammed down by Frost Walrus clamped fists.

"HAHAHAHA! ! What's the matter, Megaman! ? Can't fight back! ?" he raised his clamped fists in the air and clobbered his enemy again with loud thumps repeatedly.

"DAAAAAAHHH! ! GAAAAAAAHHH! ! AAAAARRRRGGHHH! !" Megaman (Tendou) cried from the latter's heavy slamming and tried to retaliate, but overwhelmed by the drowsiness.

"Wh-What's going on with Megaman! ?" Honoka asked worriedly.

"MEGAMAN, GANBATTE! !" Misaki cheered to encourage him.

(A/N: Ganbatte can also mean "Good luck" or "Hang in there".)

Tia narrowed her eyes in suspicious at Tendou's sudden behavior. Soon, she figured the cause as she turned to her brother.

"Jack, you did give Tendou the painkiller, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, I did."

"Did you make sure?" she asked again.

"What are you talking about, Nee-san? I injected him with a painkiller!" Jack took out an empty small container from his pocket and checked the label. When he did, his face dropped and turned blue, realizing his fatal mistake. "Oh crap... I used a sedative on him."

"I thought so. You were in a hurry without checking the label."

Frost Walrus gave his enemy one more hard slam as the dark blue armored Megaman stood up slowly, trying to shake off the drowsiness. "HAHAHAHA! ! NOT SO TOUGH NOW, ARE YOU! ? FUROSUTO TAWAA (FROST TOWER)! !" he breathed out a very cold air from his tusks at the latter.

"Aaaaaaaaahhh!" Megaman (Tendou) cried from the large humanoid walrus's icy breath and tried to block it with his arms. Unable to defend himself, his body moved sluggishly and slowly turned into ice. In the process, ice appeared on his legs and traveled its way up to his torso.

Frost Walrus began to increase the cold air and speed up the freezing progress. Slowing down, he stopped and snickered at the sight.

The frosty air faded and revealed Megaman was completely frozen in ice.

Everyone gasped at the terrible sight - including the Maid Latte girls - seeing their hero trapped in ice.

Frost Walrus pounded his fists with a laugh, "Hehehe! Now, this is the Repliforce victory! TIME TO SAY SARABA (FAREWELL) TO MEGAMAN! !" he raised them in the air, preparing to give him the finishing blow.

Shaking her clenched fists in frustration, Misaki didn't want to see Megaman shattered into pieces right in front of her. She still hadn't repaid him for saving her life that night. Her heart started to ache at the sight and tears fell from her eyes. The black-haired girl slammed her fists on the ledge and hollered at the top of her lung with her eyes shut.

"SHINANAIDE (DON'T DIE), MEEEEGAAAAMAAAAAAAN! ! !"

On cue, a small crack appeared on the frozen Megaman (Tendou), and a hint of electricity formed on his body.

"NANI (WHAT)! ?" Frost Walrus paused at the sight. The cracked ice finally shattered and burst into tiny pieces, then a strong wind occurred from the dark blue armored Megaman, knocking him away. "AAAAAAHHHH! !" the large humanoid walrus landed on his back with a loud thud.

A ball of electricity consumed Megaman (Tendou) and he began his transformation.

FAINARAIZU (FINALIZE)!

ORE GA OMAE DE (I AM YOU)! OMAE GA ORE DE (YOU ARE ME)!

JEMINI BURAZAAZU (GEMINI BROTHERS)!

*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !* *BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !* *BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*

The electricity increased and struck the floor, causing explosions around him in a hexagon, engulfing him with thick smoke.

Frost Walrus stood back up with a growl. The smoke faded and revealed Megaman (Tendou) standing in his new form.

His dark blue armor was mixed with white, except his right arm was gold with a spike on the right shoulder pad. He had a gold horn on the forehead of the helmet. His red lens, silver mask, and green streamlines remained the same.

Misaki grew a happy smile with a small gasp, seeing Megaman broke free and made a turnaround. Her face dropped and saw a shadowy figure standing next to him in the heavy smoke. She had no idea how or where that figure came from.

"Could it be... another StarForce?" she thought, wiping her tears away.

As the smoke finally faded, Misaki and the Maid Latte girls widened their eyes in complete astonishment - including everyone in the gymnasium.

It was another Megaman - except his armor was black mixed with white. His left arm was gold with a spike on that shoulder pad. He had a gold horn on the forehead of the black helmet and a black mask. His streamlines were yellow. His red lens remained the same.

It was an exact mirrored version of him!

"NANI (WHAT)! ? TH-THERE ARE TWO MEGAMAN! ?" Frost Walrus pointed at them in shock.

Tora slammed his hands on the ledge and shot his head at the two Megaman in utter astonishment; he couldn't believe his own two eyes.

Ace, Jack, and Tia didn't expect Tendou to use that Finalize form. They smiled and let him continue his fight. Draco nodded to himself in approval, knowing what his partner was doing. However, he was worried about the side effect afterward.

Shakened, Misaki didn't expect to see Megaman brought out a copy of himself. Her eyes were wider than before, and her heart pounded with joy to see him not crushed.

The Maid Latte girls blinked their widened eyes numerous times, wanting to know which Megaman was the actual one, and which was the copy.

"WH-WHAT KIND OF A MEGAMAN ARE YOU! ?" Frost Walrus asked in demand.

"Ore wa (I am)... " The black-and-white armored Megaman spoke, raising his right arm in a V-shaped.

"No, ore-tachi wa (We are)... " The dark blue-and-white-armored Megaman (Tendou) corrected, raising his left.

"Gemini Megaman!" they finished in unison and their red lenses glowed momentarily, forming their raised arms in a W.

The audience began to cheer with a loud roar.

*insert Kamen Rider Ex-Aid / Girls - B.A.T.T.L.E G.A.M.E*

Taiyou terasu dei geemu

"GET HIM, MEGAMAN! !" Ryuunosuke shouted.

"KICK HIS BUTT! !" Shirokawa followed.

Yami wo kazaru naito geemu

"MEGAMAN, YOU'RE AWESOME! !" Yukimura cheered happily with bright stars in his eyes. Kanou still had his arms around the dark green-haired from flying in excitement.

Tatakai no toki wa ima

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! ! ! MEGAMAN! !" The Maid Latte girls screamed in excitement.

"GO! ! GO! ! MEGAMAN! ! LET'S GO! !" Sarashina cheered loudly, waving the flag side-to-side - who was in the audience seat with the Maid Latte girls the entire time.

Ready go! Ready go! Ready go!

The two Gemini Megaman made their fighting stance and charged forward to the large humanoid walrus.

"Aisu Bamubaddo (Ice Bombard)!" Frost Walrus launched several icicle spikes from his shoulders at them.

Migi e narae no masu geemu

The falling icicle spikes misfired and exploded near the two running Gemini Megaman.

*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*

Warui koto shitara baddo geemu

The two Gemini Megaman leaped forward in the air and extracted golden blades with electricity from their respective golden forearms. "HAA! !" They landed and slashed the large humanoid walrus's sides in unison, sparks bursting out.

"Aaaaaahh!"

Baacharu (Virtual) janakute riaru (real)

Next, they jumped up in the air and twirled, giving a swift kick on Frost Walrus's torso.

"HAA! !"

Daichi kette idome

"GAAAAAAAHHH! !"

Leaping forward, they rolled in the air and slashed their golden blades at his shoulders, bursting out sparks again.

Kagayaku mirai e no tame

"AAAAARRRRRGHHHHH! !"

Landing their feet behind Frost Walrus, they jumped and back rolled in the air. Retracting both golden blades to their respective forearms, they landed in front of the large humanoid walrus and fiercely punched their golden fists at his armored abdomen.

Reberu (level) agete todome

"HIYA! !"

"Aaarrrghh!" Frost Walrus stumbled backward a bit and let out a roar before charging at them. He raised his arms in the air and slammed both tightened fists at them, but the two Gemini Megaman leaped backward, earning loud thumps on the ground.

Saa kuria (clear) seyo!

They landed next to each other and mechanically transformed their golden arms into vulcans. "JEMINI BARUKAN (GEMINI VULCAN)! !" they fired multiple electrical bullets at a rapid speed.

"AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! !" Frost Walrus cried in agony from numerous bullets and dropped to his knees.
